Oh yes, I understand now. I find the Book of Romans the easiest to understand out of all of Paul's letters. 
Romans 7 explains it clearest in verse 15 - 2015 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.c For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
As long as we are in this earthly body, the Sin nature which the Bible call the Flesh is in us. We need to be careful with definition. The Bible states that we have the nature of Flesh but we are not the flesh. We are a new creation in Christ.
That is why it's a daily battle for the repentance of the mind to believe that we (already) ARE a new creation, the old has gone, the new has come. Even though it doesn't seem like it. Why? Because of our body. Until we are cloth with our new Heavenly Body, this flesh nature is still there.
It is not the striving of our actions that changes but the repentance of the mind. Bible says Be transform by the renewing of our mind. Church traditionally preaches, repentance through our action but Bible say repentance start in the mind area first. Sometime it's because of wrong preaching using fear and intimidation of Hell, we get messed up in wrong theology. That to me is Man's teaching not of God. God's way is that his Grace always comes first (mercy, kindness and favor) that leads us to repentance.
So with this in mind, do you understand what Hebrews 10:26 is trying to say?
The key word here is not so much on deliberate sinning but "no sacrifice for sins is left". That is a very BIG Clue, what it's trying to convey.
